塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资

Thus these institutions give help and strength in many ways, and, besides enabling young people to keep out of debt and honestly to pay their way, furnish them with the means of performing kindly and generous acts in times of family trial and emergency. It is an admirable feature of the Ragged Schools that almost every one of them has a Penny Bank connected with it for the purpose of training the scholars in good habits, which they most need; and it is a remarkable fact that in one year not less than £8,880 were deposited, in 25,637 sums, by the scholars connected with the Ragged School Union. And when, this can be done by the poor boys of the ragged schools, what might not be accomplished by the highly-paid operatives and mechanics of England?

白话

这些机构在多方面给人帮助和力量,不仅让年轻人不欠债、诚实付账,还让他们在家庭困难时能行善慷慨。贫民学校几乎每所都附设便士银行,训练学生养成好习惯,这是很值得称赞的特点。一个惊人的事实是:一年内,贫民学校联盟的学生存款达8880英镑,共25637笔。穷孩子都能做到,英国高薪工人和技工还有什么做不到?做法是:把储蓄训练嵌入教育机构,让习惯从小扎根。
